Wait A lot of Updates for ENglish BEGinners*Today*

Today Alice and Louay are talking about diet.

In 2003, the British government launched a scheme which encouraged adults to eat five portions of fruit and vegetables a day. A portion is a piece of fruit or three spoons of vegetables.

But research shows that only 58% of adults hit the target.

And a recent survey revealed that there are still many five-a-day myths about what you should eat to stay healthy.

A majority of the people questioned were confused about the five-a-day message.

Some believe they can just eat fruit, with no vegetables. Others think that a portion can include orange squash (a sugary drink), herbs and even chips.

A bad diet can increase your chances of developing heart disease, cancer and other conditions. At least two thirds of people questioned said that they ate badly.

Alice says that she eats more healthily in the summer; she enjoys eating lots of fruit and salads. But in the winter she likes comfort food like soup, chocolate and chips!

We asked people in London whether they ate healthily. One woman said she tried to complement her daily dish with some healthy stuff.

Do you have a healthy diet or do you need to eat more fruit and vegetables?

هل تنتناولون غذاءا صحيا أم أنتم فى حاجة إلى تناول مزيد من الفواكه و الخضروات ؟
